About Cruttenden Partners
Cruttenden Partners is the single family office of the Cruttenden family, based in Newport Beach, United States, and established in 2000 as the investment arm of the Cruttenden family. It is led by founder and president Walter Cruttenden, a financial-services entrepreneur who founded Roth Capital, a leader in funding emerging growth companies, before founding E*Trade's iBank, which became the number one provider of online IPOs prior to its sale, and later co-founded the micro-investing company Acorns and audio-technology firm SRS Labs. His sons help run the office as co-managers. The office is the investment arm of the Cruttenden Family that focuses on emerging growth industries with a long-term perspective, allocating across private companies, public equities and real estate. It no longer discloses its investments, is not actively seeking or soliciting new opportunities, and does not manage outside capital. Assets are estimated by a third party at roughly $100M.
